I woke up today with news that Israel will be expelling the Flotilla activists to their countries of origin. Not to use logic or rational thinking, but doesn't that appear odd.
During the last 48 hours, we have heard from Isreal on how these activists have links to terrorism. We have heard how the Flotilla was carrying weapons to the Gaza strip. We have heard that the activists opened fire on Isreal troops as they boarded the ships.
But yet, Israel is deporting all of them? Israel is deporting "terrorists" who attempted to assist their enemies in the Gaza strip? Deported people bringing weapons to into Gaza? Deported people that were on a ship that open fired on their own troops?
I'm still waiting for the pictures of these weapons that were on the ship. You know, the ones that were used against them. One would think that Israel has them and would want to show the world that their actions were justified. You would think they would display the cache of weapons that the "terrorists" were bringing into Gaza. You know, how they have done in the past when they broke up a terrorism plot.
The fact of the matter is, there were no terrorists. There were no weapons. There was no threat. And the mass expulsion of the activists are proof enough that this was a mass exageration and overreaction by the Israeli government. But, the world is not going to do anything except write a lightly worded letter saying how disappointed they are with Israel, because that is what they do, courtesy of the United States.
